After just 45 seconds Edin Dzeko wipes the smile off Ferguson's face when he opens the scoring. City hared down the right flank, the ball was played into the penalty area after good interplay saving tackle from Rafael, when it looked like Silva was going to waltz the ball into the net. The ball was half-cleared to the edge of the penalty area, where Fernandinho clipped it to Nasri on the left side of the penalty area. Nasri rattled the upright with a low drive and Dzeko swept home from a couple of yards out for his ninth of the season

Danny Welbeck over-runs the ball and then dives into a challenge with Pablo Zabaleta in a bid to win it back. He gets a yellow card and is lucky not to get a red one. A hobbling Zabaleta is still feeling the effects of this reckless change 10 minutes later

For the second time in the game Zabaleta finds himself prone on the floor nursing an injury. This time it's Marouane Fellaini who is the guilty party after he elbowed the City captain in the throat as he attempts to shield the ball, and gets booked for his troubles

Yaya Toure seals an emphatic victory during injury time when he rifled the ball low into the bottom left-hand corner from the fifteen yards out. The win puts City second in the table, three points behind Chelsea with two games in hand. Conversely, United have now lost 10 times in the Premier League this season, with six of those defeats coming at Old Trafford. Final score: Manchester United 0-3 Manchester City
